Target Is Giving Away a $5 Gift Card With These Thrifty Beauty Buys

Putting your best face forward has gotten more expensive lately, but Target is offering a special Circle Deal for members of the Target Circle Club. With this deal, you can get a $5 gift card for any of your Target purchases. 

The special offer requires a minimum purchase of $30 or more on eligible skin and hair care products, but the wide selection guarantees products everybody loves. 

These deals include an array of sunscreens, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners, as well as some high-end niche beauty products that may only be purchased a couple of times a year. See which product combinations will provide the best value — and are the best way to save money at Target.

Herbal Essence Rose Hips scent is a timeless classic that leaves your hair smooth and smelling lightly floral. It's always good to have extra shampoo and conditioner stashed away, so this bundled pack is great to add to your cart. 

Price: $4.99

Ditch the micro-plastic exfoliants and return to nature with St. Ives, which uses natural exfoliants like ground apricot pits and walnut shells — better for your face and the environment!

The original pore strips from Biore are the gold standard for blackhead removal and unclogging pores at home, so it's always good to have some stashed in the cupboard for skin emergencies. Biore has patented technology that allows the adhesive to bind to blackheads but not skin, making them superior to copycat products. 

Price: $5.29

Get that beachy hair all summer long with texturizing sea salt spray. Not Your Mother's Beach Babe spray uses sea salt and kelp as the base for its formula, giving your hair fresh out-of-the-ocean texture, separation, and volume. It's perfect for light curls and waves for end-of-summer hair.

Tree Hut offers several delectable scents of sugar body scrub to keep your whole body soft and radiantly glowing. The Vanilla and Jasmine scent pairs well with other lightly floral-scented products, such as shampoo and conditioner, creating a unique fragrance for you alone. Sugar is the exfoliant ingredient, a natural and environmentally friendly option you won't feel guilty about sending down the drain. 

Some health and beauty products will always be needed in homes, and restocking those now will earn Circle Club members an additional $5 gift card toward future Target purchases. That's basically a free $5 for buying things you were already going to buy — what's not to like? 

Over 5,000 products are eligible for this promotion, so it's not in any way limited to our favorite picks. But if you added of our faves to your cart, you'd get that $5 gift card. It is limited to one promotion per Circle Club account. There are lots of other deals for the upcoming Circle Week, though, which kicks off on July 7. 

Any chance to shop smart should be seized, so don't miss your opportunity!
